I have a video on screen writing and one of the homework assignments is to “write 4 terrible pages.” I think about that a lot when I am daring to be creative. I think you are being too hard on yourself. And I think the line you came up with is hilarious.
I feel bad every time someone is confused. I wish I’d gotten it right in the beginning. But I didn’t. But it’s right now. Sorry for the confusion. — Thank you @bmonk for the clarification!
I appreciate the beautiful haikus in the comments. “Maudlin” maybe, but this all comes from a true story … except that I’m not a sheep … and my son isn’t a colt. — The reason for the sentimental ooshy gooshy installment is to make sure it is understood how much Haiku loves her son. Every once in a while, I’ll be writing something sentimental 1. to convey the character’s love and 2. because I love my son soooo much.
Thank you so much everyone!!!
